Very true !

Great tip! Another method that works for me is to boil the water first and then quickly lower eggs into a steaming basket in the pan, cover and boil for 13 minutes, turn heat off and let them sit covered for ten minutes, put in cold water and shake the pan vigorously. The shells slip off easily, often in one piece.

If you don't have an ice maker or room for ice trys just use super cold water and stick in the fridge. The only time this has never worked was because the eggs weren't fully covered.

I got the same sickness 😢. I hope you are feeling better soon 😢

Honestly you really don't need ice, just cold water. I boil eggs almost daily and mine typically peel easy. I start them in a with cold water, let them come up to a boil in the water and then turn off the heat. Put the lid on the pan for 10 ish mins and then dump the hot water and fill the pan/pot up with cold water. The trick is you can't leave them in your shock water for a long time. I usually do maybe 5 mins max. Then peel immediately. I just tap each end on the counter and then roll it with my palm. The REAL hack if their is a hack is the egg itself. Fresh eggs don't boil well and small eggs don't tend to peel well. So I get the jumbo ones for boiling. You might end up with an extra yolk but its totally worth it.

My hack. No ice needed. Just bring a pot to boil. When it reaches the boiling point, add eggs and wait for 10-12 minutes. Then, take it off the stove and pour the hot water away. Just let the eggs sit under the running water until you feel it gets cooler and peel. Works for me.

I been boiling eggs since I was in elementary school and ain't ever had a problem peeling them once idk why everyone will have you thinking it's brain surgery 😂 I just put salt in the water while they boiling which is what my Dad told me to do as a child and I've never had an issue, the shell peels right off 🤷🏽‍♀️

Same, that’s how my grandma taught me when I was a kid & works every time

Scientifically, it makes sense. The heat of boiling the eggs expands them and the cold, ice water contracts. However, if I want to eat one hot out of the pan, I cook them in water and add a buttload of baking soda (1/4-1/2c). Just rinse in cold water a few times so you don’t burn your hands when you peel them. ❤

Excuse me for the way i look says the lady with the most perfect skin I've ever seen

You don't have to apologize for your accent, Ashley!! I'm from the south and our accents are fabulous!! Don't let anybody tell you different!!!❤

I literally just roll them on the table lightly until they have a bunch of fine cracks. Super easy to peel after lol

Freshness depends on how easily the eggs will peel with the ice bath.

Fresher the egg the better. And hot to cold. I just use cold water works well. Feel better Ash!!

I put my eggs in hot water, boil 12 min. Pour out hot water and put in real cold water, peel easily and great for deviled eggs

I hope you feel better soon.

The ice bath is what you need at the end definitely but I was taught by my chef boss to also drop them in boiling water when you start the cooking process it has cut my peeling time in half especially working at assisted living place when you have to get things done both these steps have been a game changer.

Try a teaspoon under the shell works well from sue in New Zealand x

I use salt in the water when boiling and an ice bath after and they practically peel themselves ❤

I bring my water to a boil, add eggs, boil for 15mins, and then put them in an ice bath. Never had a problem peeling. Ive been doing it this was for years! I think its the ice water too!!

I give them another dunk after cracking the shell. A little water can get in between and help the shell just slide off.

Been looking for a good sneeze water egg vid

Tap the top of the egg with a spoon until you hear a snap inside and then cook them, they peel like a dream. Just dont crack the shell. Just tap until u hear a snap. Do everything else the same. It releases the egg from the shell membrane, easier to peel with a spoon or whatever ;)

If u have no patience you can add some salt to the water and they peel easy too.

It cracks me up (pun intended 😂) that everyone in the comments has completely different and sometimes very contrary methods for "perfect" boiled eggs. 🤣

Poking a hole in the bottom/flatter side of the egg is another foolproof way to peel them perfectly

❤ Hey gurl, how r u? I hope u yours have a really good everyday! Thanks 4 sharing!

Just peel them why they are hot the shell comes right off

Put them in a steamer basket in a pot of boiling water -straight from the fridge -for 15 mins, then into a cool water bath for 15 mins. They peel perfectly and no need for ice.

But how boiled? Soft, medium, hard? The yolk makes all the difference. If I'm eating ramen, I want a soft boiled egg. Salads, make it hard boiled. Removing the shell will be much harder with a soft boiled egg

I use a little oil and salt in boiling water. Sometimes I put in cold water after boiling sometimes not either way shells come off great for me

Ice bath is life!!!

This is what I do and they come right off but I don’t let them sit that long only takes a few minutes

Have you ever tried boiling them in salt water?

How long from the fridge did you cook them? That’s my issue…not too runny and not with the green ring…

Older eggs work better too.

You can use salt. Like a big table spoon of it on your boiling water. It’s some science or something but it works too. And you can peel your eggs easily and they’re still warm instead of having sat in ice water for 20 minutes

After the ice bath, I shake in mason jar and they peel off. Hope you feel better.

Fresh eggs don't peel as well as eggs you've had for a week or so but I also found out that if you put the boiled eggs in the fridge over night, get them out and let them come to room temp they will sweat and peel very easy also, of course that takes longer but it works lol

Does it have to be so long in the ice water , I kinda like hot eggs well warm , the ice water makes it real cold , sometimes Iam in the mood for warm egg salad , or potato salad

Leave them in the ice bath for at least 5 min. If you want them still warm.

Yes I admit I'm a dork ... please help me get to your Amazon store❤❤ I just don't see the link😮😊😊

Ben doing this for years, it's the only way to go.

I did ice bath and it didn't work. Now I peel them hot and it is so easy.

Yes! Same here. Perfect every time. Love using the spoon as well.

Hot tap water,put eggs in pan,put on stove,cover,bring to boil. Turn heat off. Let sit 20 minutes. Remove eggs into ice water.pop into fridge

I love a good peel on an egg, but I do like my boiled eggs slightly warm if I'm on a military diet. Deviled eggs gotta be cold.

I’ve boiled eggs, then let them sit in ice water. But I didn’t want to peel them yet, so I put them in the refrigerator. When I got them out to peel, that night or next morning, the peel took half the egg with it. What did I do wrong?

@insomniaglet

you let them cool too long, which lost the advantage of them expanding and then contracting away from the shell. it's also possible your eggs were very fresh which also worked against you.

I like to boil them. Then I put them in cold water. Then I smash them in paper towels and roll and the shell comes right off.

Look up the crack and blow! Crack the top and bottom peel a little off and it'll blow right out without all the little shit everywhere 🤯

What if you want hot/warm eggs?

Gonna have to figure out a different hack for that one haha. Obviously the microwave is risky so your best bet might be putting them back in warm water for a few minutes. Me personally I don't mind if they're a cold so I've never tried it

But then your egg is cold. Unless i am putting them on a cold salad, I like my boiled eggs, hot.

How do you peel hot eggs you can't...can you? I was always taught you couldn't and if you wanted to you could always use this method and warm up in microwave.

Do they need to be peeled then? You can get yourself an egg cup and a 'topper' tool and eat straight out of the shells. Or if you aren't into that maybe soft boil, peel then back in the hot water to cook more?

Yes

Yeah your way is what I did for years with no issues...until I moved into the house I'm in now. It no longer works on my eggs, I can't make peanut butter cookies I've made for 40 years either! Cannot figure out why this house is different! Oh and in this house my carrot cake sticks to the pan every time and never did before. It's WEIRD!

I do my eggs in the pressure cooker ten ice bath for about 6 minutes. Peel just falls off.

Add baking soda to the water. I swear it works. Not sure why.

I made deviled eggs for Easter and they looked horrible by the time I was done with them I was so angry 😤😡 I will totally give this a try

I don't have ice maker or room for ice trays,so... 🤷🏾‍♀️

I was tired of the ice trays taking up room in my freezer so for under $100 I bought a tabletop ice machine on Amazon. I bag the ice into quart size zipper baggies and keep them in my freezer for my water,which I like ice cold and for my eggs ice baths. 🙂💖🐈🐈‍⬛🌈

Pour out the cooking water. Shake the eggs in the pan to crack the shells. Run cold water onto the cracked eggs in the pan and let sit for 20 minutes. Then I will pour that water out and shake the eggs again before peeling. Oh, and don't use the eggs that you just bought. Gotta be a week or 2 old.

SALT WATER!!! A S**T TON OF SALT!! Like at least a half a cup or MORE of the cheap salt in the water. Also, bring the salty as the ocean water to a noil & then drop eggs in. Let boil for 5 to 7 mins (depending on if you want soft or hard boil) then take off heat & let thdm be with the lid kn@

I'll never understand how people willingly eat eggs. They smell like old farts.

That's more likely to happen if they are cooked too long. Sulfur compounds and all that.
